Best Practices

SEO Title Guidelines

  • Under 60 characters - Google truncates longer titles
  • Include brand - Helps with brand recognition
  • Lead with keywords - Most important words first
  • Be specific - "Blue Wool Winter Scarf" beats "Nice Scarf"

Effective Prompts

  1. Set length limits - "Maximum 55 characters"
  2. Specify format - "Format: Brand - Product - Key Feature"
  3. Include constraints - "Do not add superlatives like 'best' or 'amazing'"
  4. Define priority - "Prioritize product type and key material"

Common Prompt Mistakes

Don't Do Instead
"Make it better" "Improve clarity while keeping under 60 chars"
"Write a title" "Write an SEO-optimized title in Brand - Product format"
No length limit "Maximum 55 characters"
Vague instructions "Include brand, product type, and key feature"

Consistency Tips

  • Use the same preset for similar products
  • Create custom presets for different product categories
  • Review character counts before applying
  • Test with small batches first

Troubleshooting

"No AI provider configured"

Go to File > Settings > AI Settings and enter an API key for at least one provider.

"Titles too long for SEO"

Add explicit length requirements to your prompt:

  • "Maximum 55 characters"
  • "Keep title under 60 characters including spaces"
  • Use the "Shorten Title" preset

"Inconsistent format across products"

  1. Create a custom preset with explicit format rules
  2. Include example in prompt: Example: "BrandName - Product Type - Key Feature"
  3. Apply to similar products in batches

"AI adding false claims"

Add to your prompt: "Do not add claims, superlatives, or features not in the original title or description."

"Rate limit exceeded"

  • Increase delay between requests
  • Reduce concurrent request count
  • Wait 60 seconds before retrying
